As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. lm order to avoid delays, on ne- count of THE STAR to any indivi office, simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Now for the Air Cars. The Commissioners having notified the receiver for the Eckington and Beli rail- road companies thet there is no objectioa en their part te the equipment of those | lines with air motors, nothing remains but the taking of immediate steps toward that end by th companies.. The situation in this respect is much different from titat which existed when Judge Cox several months ago declined tu grant permission for the issue of receiver's’ certificates for the equipment of the roads with com- pressed air. The court's main reason then was that the system had not been demon- strated a success sufficiently to warrant the burdening of the stock-holders with a heavy debt out of which it was by no means certain that beneficial results would flow. It was too plain that one of the chief objects of the applicati y the re- ceiver was the completion of the process cf taking the properties wholly out of the hands of the minority stock-holders. Since then, however, there has been additional legislation, the tests have been placed un- der the scrutiny of the Commissioners and have been carried on with more or less diii- gence on the pert of the companies and have brought forth a favorable verdict from the authorities. Thus so far as the Official records go the court's objection that the system was at the time too ex- perimental to warrant the issuance of certificates has been overcome, thougii there stil! remains the fear that these ce: lificates, issued, might be used to jeopar- dize the remaining rights of the minority owners. The general public is not however espe- cially concerned as to the sources of the means that are plainly necessary to put the roads on a rapid transit basis. What it wants is good street car service such as the stitutes contemplate and such as the air motors, on the basis of the Commis- sioners’ findings, would afford. The former dectsion would seem to indicate that the court may be relied upon to pgotect the riinority interests so far as the business of the corporation is concerned while the Commissioners see that the performances of the companies, if any, are within the scope of the laws. So it is to be taken for grant- ed that some method of financing the pro- ject for rapid transit will be found and thus there appears no good reason why the work of equipment with the motors should not proceed without delay. The year granted by Congress for this purpose is row more than a quarter gone and it is to be remembered that if the air cars should fail to work satisfactorily in service the underground electric system is the only legal alternative now in sight, and that must be talled by the first of next July. So there is a premium on time, and every- points inevitably to the immediate commencement of air-motor equipment un- less the suspicion that now lurks in the public mind as to the sincerity of the com- panies is rapidly to be resolved into a fixed beiief. 4 ——__ + +e —_____ A Campaign Feature. The silver campaign in both Ohio and Kentucky is being conducted on rather trivial lines. It seems to be considered suf- ficient to show that at one time or another certain eminent republicans and certain eminent gold democrats spoke or wrote or voted in favor of the free coinage of silver. Those old utterances and votes are now be- ing spread before the people, and upon them is made to rest the whole contention that the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1, at this da would be a wise policy for this gov- ernment to adopt In Ohio Mr. McKinley's record is beigg In drawn upon for this sort of material. Kentucky the records of Mr. Carlisle Mr. Watterson are being mined for it. .* Bynum likewise is confronted on his m, ing tours for sound money by sentiments friendly to silver, which he uttered while in Congress. But these men have for ex- planation of their present position the fact that they have grown with the times. The silver question of half a dozen or twenty years ago is not the silver question of this year, by any manner of means. It is enother question altogether, and must be met ¢s it now exists. The question is, with the whole commercial world of any conse- avence committed to the gold standard, shall this government cut loose from ail such associations and adopt a policy which would reduce ics finances immediately and @:sastrously to a silver basis? Sound money men, democrats and republicans alike, no. What these same men may have in years past when their lights were ferent and the question was different is of no moment today, as impeaching either their Intelligence or their integrity, It ts altogether different, however, in cases like those of Mr. Gorman in Mary- jand, Mr. Kerr in Pennsylvania, Mr. Shee- han, the Tammany leader in New York, and Geo. Fred. Williams in Massachusett: Those men, up to the holding of the Chi- ¢2go convention, were gold men. It is of record. They do not deny it. But sud- denly, and not as the result of any change of conviction on their part, they went over to silver. “hey permitted a political com- mittee to reverse them completely on the Whole money question. Mr. Williams and Mr. Kerr are still for silver. Although they changed so suddeniy, they are sticking. Mr. Gorman and Mr. Sheehan are wobbling. They are wobbiers by nature. But if a change of base on this money question is SO repugnant to the stiver men in Ohio and Kentucky, and argues to them such faith- lessness in Mr. Carlisle and others, what have they to say about these capers of their friends and associates in the east? Is it faithlessness to change from silver to sold, but the highest patriotism to change from gold to silver? ———_~+- The recall of General Weyler will give Spain an opportunity to ask a postpone- ment of intervention until a new man shows what he cannot do. ——_++o Chieago will annex the town of Pullman.

The Capital Traction Company Saturday decided to re-equip its avenue and Four- teenth street lines with the underground electric system of propulsion. This change was in a measure forced by the disaster that caused the temporary peralysis of the rapid transit service “of the road, but in still greater measure by the trend of public opinion in opposition to the continued maintenance of the cable as a motive power. Tne cable was originally adopted because the public of Washington had ex- TING STAR. | j first a rapid traction system that, at the definite, positive force. This force has pro- duced the splendid results now in evidence, time of its adoption, was the best and most Satisfactory in the market, and now a re- liabie promise that at the earliest possible mcment the fruits of ihe great disaster just suffered by the corporation will ap- pear for the public benefit in the form of the system of transit which is viewed today as the very best that can be adopted. Meanw*ile, the Eckington and Belt roads, originally owned and controlled by local shareholders, have passed into the posses- sion of men who have no resident interests here and who are far removed from the ferce of sentiment such as has been stead- ily Behind the old Washington and George- town Company and its corporate successor. This has resulted in‘an utter disregard for the desires and convenience of the riding public upon which the roads depended for subsistence as well as for the preferences and prejudices of the general public of the capital. The people of the city, Im fact, have been completely ignored, while the non- resident owners of these valuable proper- ties have sought, first, the installation of the overhead trolley, and, second, the wrecking of the roads, te the detriment of those interests still held by local share- owners. Now that Congress has sought, with more or less directness, to supplement the wishes of the people with statutory oblisations the cpmpanies have shown the least possible tendency to meet the plain requirements, both of the laws and the situation, and even eleventh-hour obe- dience has at times been lacking. ‘The history of these two corporations is @ striking instance of the value to a com- munity of the retention of its semi-pubiic franchises in the hands of its own people. ‘nis matter cannot always be controlled, but where other things are equal it is ap- parentiy best for all parties that each city should transact its own business with those agencies that are susceptible to the govern- ing influence of that wholesome and usual- ly reliable factor, local public sentiment. ——+es___ Sagastn Im the Saddle. < Senor Sagasta is the statesman with whom the United States now has to deal in the matter of Cuba. This has been expected, and in a certain sense it is wel- come. The new premier agrees with senti- ment in this country In one thing, and that is that General Weyler’s campaign in Cuba has been a gcod deal worse than a failure. it has added materially Spain's objectionableness thereby complicated a situation already sufficiently difficult. But the recall of Gen- cral Weyler and the elimination of Weyler- ism in ‘the island will not settle the ques- tion at all. It will simply clear the way fer a production of the Sagasta program, ard that ought measurably to be outlined in the new premier’s reply to the overtures of the United States for peace in Cuba. Spain’s first attempt to put down the revolt in Cuba was committed to the hands of General Campos, a fine type of the humane and chivalrous soldier. He ex- erted himself to the utmost aleng honor- able lines, but he failed. The insutgent csuSe was too strong for him, and he re- tired. General Weyler, a repulsive type of the butcher in epaulettes, succeeded to ccmmand, and at once inaugurated a cru- sade of murder and rapine. He has carried his policy to the point of laying the island waste and sending thousands of helpless people to their graves, but he also has failed. The insurgent cause has proved to he too much for him. War, therefore, as vresecuted by Spain, both along humane and fiendish lines, has proved unequal to the task of reducing the insurgents to sub- jection. They are stronger now, indeed, than at any time since they took the field, while Spain is weaker by millions of money ard thousands of lives spent without re- turns. 4s war avails nothing, peace must be invoked. But Senor Sagasta’s idea of peace for Cuba is Spanish autonomy for Cuba, and that the insurgents declare they will not accept. They characterize it as but a new form of tyranny, under which they may be harried and oppressed quite as Much as under the present form. They would prefer to keep the field, where they are now so strong, and go on fighting until independence is achieved. If Spain's reply to the overtures of the United States for peace for Cuba Is auton- omy for Cuba, what will the administra- ticn say in reply to that? The United States could hardly afford to guarantee Spain's promises to the Cubans, and even if it could and did there ts no reason to believe that the Cubans even then would accept them. = + +e—____ Mr. Bryan edvised the New York dem- wcrats to fight fer principles regardiess of spells.

There are many surprises in the game of politics. One of some note has just taken place. Several weeks ago two Americans of na- tional reputation, one a vepublican and the other a democrat, wer: passengers on the same ship returning home from abroad. Speculation was busy with the name of one of them in connection with an approaching race for an important office. Many people believed that he was returning to become his party’s candidate for the place. As a consequence, the pier was crowded whea the ship came in, and @ score of enterpris- ing reporters at once surrounded this man. He was diplomatic in his replies to all questions, but showed a lively interest in the topics suggested, and, like a trained politician, wanted ail of the néws. He held quite a levee, both on shipboard, and, later, at his hotel. His admirers evinced the greatest satisfaction at his return, and opinion strengthened that he was expecting the nomination mentioned. His every movement was chronicled for a week's full time, the names of all his callers were given, and views expressed as to their probable business. The other man escaped all attention of this character. His return was recorded, but that was ali. He had an easy time getting ashore and making his way home. Nobedy was thinking of him for office, and hence no crowd gathered around him. The reporters neglected him, unti! some hours afterward it occurred to them that his opinion as to the other man’s intentions might be valuable. So when he was subse- quently sought out it was only for the pur- pos: of securing his views about his fellow subject guardedly. He was rather of the opinion that his fellow passenger had the bee of office buzzing in his bonnet, and ali the talk ashore on the subject had not surprised him at all. He was not interro- gated about his own plans, for it was not thought he had any of public interest, and, as a matter of fact, at that time he did not have any. He had simply returned home from a visit abroad, and was pre- paring to resume his practice of the law. One of those men was Richard Croker. The other was General Benjamin F. Tra- cy. General Tracy, with no thought at that time of standing for any office, is now his party’s candidate for mayor of Greater New York. In the democratic convention, called to make a nomination for the same office, the name of Richard Croker did not figure in the calculations. —_—_~+ +s ___.

A free trade demccratic newspaper, prob- ably ignorant of the facts, asserts that the sugar trust, now that the new tariff bill is on the statute books, has ro interest in the Hawaiian question, as the trust only supplies sugar east of the Rocky moun- tains. There is not a pound of cane sugar refined in the United States west of the Rocky mountains except in trust refineries. And, moreover, there is only one bect sugar refinery in California in which the trust is not largely interested. The greedy trust is deeply interested in keeping Ha- wail out of the Union wholly from selfish reasons. The assertion by the same newspaper that Hawaii will become a burden on the treasury in case of annexation is also evi- dently made because of lack of informa- tion. The Hawaiian finances are in good shape, and the crown lands are worth sev- eral times over the amount of the Hawaiian debt. If a part of the Union, the govern- ment could be carried on at much less ex- pense than at present, as there would be no expense for foreign representatives and various other things. Moreover, under the assured stable government of the United States, the development of the islands would be rapid, and the reverue correspondingly increased. Every administration for over half a century, excepting only that of the pomp- ous Grover Cleveland, favored the exelu- sive control of those islands by the United States.' Every government official sent to Hawaii to look over the matter, including Gen. Schefield, a demecrat, and Admiral Walker and others sent there by Cleveland, with the sole exception of the iNegally ap- pointed and narrow-minded Blount, re- ported that the islands should be controlled by this country. Perhaps all of those statesmen and mili- tary and naval officers were wrong and the opposition,” composed of Grover Cleve- land, Claus Spreckels, the sugar trust and a handful of the free trade democrats, right. But the people do not view it in that light, and that is why Hewaii will, within a few months, become a part of this glorious Union. ———++e—____ “Let Every Vehicle Carry a Light. From the Rider and Driver, New York. One would think that the new rules of the road had been discussed and considered sufficiently before they were finally passed to warrant the supposition that they would not require further tinkering for a time, but the ink which inscribed them in the statute books was hardly dry before iurther amendments were . The licensed trucks are specifically exempted from carrying lights after nightfall, as it was thought a hardship that such vehicles should have to carry lamps all day to be ready in case they should be overtaken by night. The bicyclists and the unlicensed truckmen kicked vigorously, and as all things to the bicyclists these days, the rule w: altogether suspended, further consideration. This weeks ago and the rule remains in sus- rension. The Rider and Driver has persist- ently and constantly advocated the light rule.
